now here in california, amazon is building two giant warehouses. including this one near los angeles. it is a million square feet, and for the old-fashioned retailers, it is another reason to worry. why? because amazon's goal is to get items to customers faster and to be able to offer same day delivery. that's right. you can avoid stores if you want, and have a package delivered to your house in a matter of hours. a win for consumers, but tough for local retailers. >> if amazon creates distribution centers, and facilities on their turf locally, that takes away the one advantage we see retailers have left to compete against amazon. so it is a big deal. >> reporter: internet analyst colin sebastian says that means retailers need to up their game. >> retailers need to take a lesson from amazon. they need to focus on the consumer experience. they need to become more sophisticated both offline and online. >> reporter: those who want a lesson on how to thrive could learn from books inc. >> we had almost everything that came down the pike that could flatt

>> you know, it is a fairly new ban on conversion therapy in california. california is the only state as far as i know, the first state in our nation to ban reparative therapy or conversion therapy for people under the age of 18. so that will, again, lend support to the plaintiffs in this case that this therapy is just junk science, that it is not appropriate therapy for changing someone's sexual orientation. and so i suspect that we'll be hearing more not only about the california law banning it, but also just about the medical evidence supporting or not supporting this therapy. >> just wanted to talk about it, first of its kind lawsuit, see where it goes. sunny hostin on the case, thank you. >> thanks, brooke. >>> drugs, gangs, murder. one expert says that's what many americans think of when they think of mexico and the country's next leader, minutes away from sitting down with president obama at the white house. my next guest explains why americans have the wrong idea about mexico. questions? anyone have occasional constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating?

so, joe, let's start with the prop 8 issue, proposition 8, which outlaws gay marriage in california. what happens if the court decides not to hear this one? >> it is tricky, don, because first of all, nothing is simple to the supreme court. it depends what the court does. the court could formally reject that case, which means the lower court ruling stands, so for proposition 8, a federal appeals court already ruled that the ban which passed as a referendum by the way is unconstitutional. so the supreme court rejecting the case would basically make same sex marriage legal again in california. this is another big point, though, the supreme court could simply decide just to sit on the case, not hear it this term, not reject it either and that basically would put the decision off to a later date. and then at that time, california would just sort of be stuck in a legal limbo until the court makes a decision. >> all right. so we'll just basically what you're saying we'll have to wait and see what happens on this one, right? >> yeah. >> several cases deal with doma, the defense of marriage
